Full blown blizzard out now with 35 mph winds . I thought Danke would get me one of those Finnish military fleece wool sherpa hats for Christmas , I could be wearing it now in case I have to go out to the garage for fresh flashlight batteries.

I bought a crank lantern at Harbor Freight. I love that damn thing. No batteries required.

Very cold and windy today. Georgians may see a snowflake this morning but the weather guy said not to panic because it's not going to stick. Every time they say that, it sticks. When they freak out, it's a bust. Our weathermen suck. My dad always said it was more reliable to just look at a thermometer and stick your head out the window but I have screens on all my windows. My parents didn't have screens because we took them off because we liked going out the windows. We were $#@!s. True story.

Oh I know, (I know)
I should be leaving this climate
I got a verse but can't rhyme it
I gotta go where it's warm

Danke! Come and get me and let's go somewhere warm. Do something, Danke!!!

I got two tickets bought
There won't be no second thought
Weather's always nice down there in paradise
We'll find that little man who owns that taco stand
We'll be drinkin' margaritas while we're workin' on our tan

Just got done shoveling the drive . The usual , bat$#@! crazy Mrs O laid out some tenderloins for dinner , then stated I need to take her out for Mexican , then asked how I would like the tenderloin cooked . It is Sunday , I do not care what she wants to do I will give in this one day of the week . I am ready for her . This morning when I went out to the feed lot I already warmed up all the vehicles and swept all the snow off of them etc

Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.

Splitting wood today , everything seems a little harder when there are 8 inches of snow and it is below 10 out . When I was younger I would have spent yesterday evening sitting in a bar now that I am older I took Mrs O to a Mexican place for dinner and drinks and watched the second game . Seems like my tab is just the same......
